OUR STORY
where history & romance meet
Standing proudly on the Shropshire border for over 800 years, Rowton Castle is a place where history, romance and celebration come together, effortlessly.
Set within 17 acres, our grade II* listed castle is rich with character and charm – from the formal gardens and grand rooms to the quiet corners filled with stories of centuries past.
Once home to the Lyster’s of Shrewsbury, the castle still carries that sense of belonging in every stone. A truly enchanting setting that feels less like a venue and more like coming home.
